SHE BANGS SHE BANGS, written and performed by Bangs, is based on her own story. For almost ten years a woman fought for her marriage as her husband cheated on her, abused her and eventually left her. Believing in marriage and miracles, she stayed and prayed and won her husband home. Years later she had an affair with a married man. Having watched marriage from both sides—first as the waiting wife and then as the mistress—she shares what she’s found, through story and song. Her tale may surprise you. It will at least make you laugh.
Bangs recently appeared in the film, Speech and Debate with Kal Penn and Janeane Garofalo, and was the original female singer in the cover band, COVERBAND. She has played Eliza in My Fair Lady, Nancy in Oliver!, Luisa in The Fantastiks and Maureen in Rent.
